June:
Personally I believe since time travel is not a reality, that the rules are in the hands of the person who is writing at that time. So H.G. Wells may have had his rules about time travel and J.K. Rowling has her rules about time travelling and neither of them in my opinion are wrong because it is their story and they make the rules.
